- Solving systems of equations by substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
-3x - 3y = 3
y = -5x - 17
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: -3x - 3(-5x - 17) = 3
- Distribute -3: -3x + 15x + 51 = 3
- Combine like terms: 12x + 51 = 3
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 12x = -48
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = -4
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define equation: y = -5x - 17
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = -5(-4) - 17
- Multiply: y = 20 - 17
- Subtract: y = 3
